Quinze & Milan x Eastpak Furniture Collection

I've heard of luggage that transformed into a sofa, but I've never heard of a sofa with built-in bags, until now! It's quite strange but certainly very useful for anyone who often put a lot of things around the sofa.

Industrial design studio Quinze & Milan has gotten together with Eastpak to work on a furniture collection that incorporates the bags of the brand. The collection combines Quinze & Milan shapes with authentic Eastpak product characteristics, including bags, zippers, handles, colorful strong fabrics and popular prints. This first range will include special pocket-padded versions of Quinze & Milan design classics ‘club sofa 01′ and ‘primary pouf 02′. Various pockets are incorporated onto the seats and provide storage for your books, magazines, reading glasses, laptop, ipod, headset, remote control, etc.

They’ll be produced in limited quantities with each individually numbered and will be presented at the Milan Design Week 2010 this year. Thanks to Hypebeast for the info and photos!

The record sleeve to “Duck Sauce” and video to their widely popular single, “aNYway” both feautre a cocky, baseball-jacketed, vinyl-toting, duck mascot designed by Fool’s Gold art director Dust La Rock who also created the packaging. The beautifully sculpted, hand painted rubber duck is not only fun to look at, but it actually floats in water as well! There’s a limited edition of only 1000 pieces so be sure to act fast if you’d like to own one.

Logorama: Oscar winner for animated short film



The winner of the Oscar animated short film this year, Logorama. It is written and directed by H5 – Francois Alaux, HervĂ© de Crecy and Ludovic Houplain. Logorama takes place in a world full of corporate and brand logos (in which roughly 2500 logotypes and mascots), and it follows a few different stories that all intertwine with one another. In it, you'll see the Michelin Man, the Haribo kid, Bob's Big Boy, Mr. Pringle and Ronald McDonald. Honestly, it's bloody brilliant! Definitely an interesting short movie!
